Wimbledon 2022

[SuperSajuuk]

With Nadal pulling out, that's a big hole to be filled tomorrow. With only one "major" match tommorrow now, they're going to have to find doubles, junior, weelchair etc. matches to fill the schedules with, particularly on BBC2. I presume whatever was meant to be on BBC2 will be promoted to BBC1, but they'll have to find something very minor to put on BBC2, if they don't scrap coverage on there altogether and put on filler content.

As Wimbledon is not something the BBC produces themselves, its not really something that the BBC should "find". Wimbledon themselves will just schedule to move another match to Centre Court and simply request that all host broadcasters take the feed in place of the SF that would have been played in that slot.

As an aside: I'm not so sure Nadal should have won his QF in the first place. He was injured and realistically should have retired from that match. By winning the QF [ie beating Fritz] and then subsequently removing themselves from the draw by withdrawing, he's effectively denied (imo) Fritz an opportunity to get to the SF of a Grand Slam, which is not an opportunity that turns up much in anyones' tennis career. Personally, Nadal should probably have just retired on the spot in the match, so that his opponent had an opportunity to play in the SF stage and subsequently an opportunity to reach the final. £500k and £1m respectively for each round is not something to be sniffed at, and seems somewhat unfair to Fritz.
